Question 6

_____ methods use a variety of diagrams, such as use case, class, sequence, and state transition diagrams.​
A) Unstructured
B) Agile
C) Object-oriented
D) Event-driven

Accepted Answer

Object-oriented methods rely heavily on the use of different types of diagrams, including use case, class, sequence, and state transition diagrams. These diagrams help capture the various aspects of a system's structure and behavior in a visual format that is easy to understand and communicate. Unstructured methods do not use diagrams to the same extent, while Agile and Event-driven methods may incorporate some diagramming techniques, but they do not rely on them as heavily as Object-oriented methods.

Question 7

Although generic computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) tools can be used to plan and design any type of information system, it usually is easier to use an integrated development environment (IDE), which uses built-in tools provided by the software vendor.​

Accepted Answer

An integrated development environment (IDE) provides built-in tools that are specific to the software vendor and are typically easier to use for planning and designing information systems compared to generic CASE tools.

Question 9

_____ allows an existing application to be examined and broken down into a series of diagrams, structure charts, and source code.​
A) Forward engineering
B) Limited perplexing
C) Reverse engineering
D) Boundless perplexing

Accepted Answer

Reverse engineering involves breaking down existing applications into diagrams, structure charts, and source code. Forward engineering involves creating an application from scratch, and perplexing is not a relevant term in this context. "Boundless perplexing" is not a commonly used term.

Question 10

Which of the following is an advantage of using an integrated development environment (IDE) tool?​
A) It is highly effective because it is built into the vendor's software package.
B) It is a simple tool and does not require skills that are readily transferrable.
C) It requires less memory and processing power.
D) It eliminates efficiency or performance problems in an application.

Accepted Answer

Using an integrated development environment (IDE) tool is highly effective because it is built into the vendor's software package. This means that the tool is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the software and can provide features like auto-completion, debugging, and version control. This can save time and increase productivity for developers. Additionally, IDEs often have more advanced tooling and support for specific programming languages, which can aid in development.

Question 11

Traditional code was written in non-procedural programming languages such as Java, which required a programmer to create a command for each processing step.​

Accepted Answer

Java is a procedural and object-oriented programming language, not a non-procedural one. Non-procedural languages are those like SQL, where the focus is on what to achieve rather than how to achieve it.

Question 12

In a fourth-generation environment that includes modern CASE tools, system developers deliver low-quality software, lengthen the timetable, and increase expense.​

Accepted Answer

Modern CASE tools have significantly improved software development by providing various functionalities and automating repetitive tasks. They have reduced the time taken for development and also lowered the chances of errors. Hence, the statement is false as it contradicts the significance of CASE tools.

Question 13

Using a forward engineering computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) tool, an analyst can transform existing application source code into a working model of the system.​

Accepted Answer

Forward engineering CASE tools are used to generate source code from visual or behavioral models. Reverse engineering tools, on the other hand, are used to transform existing source code into models. Therefore, the statement in the question is incorrect as it describes reverse engineering, not forward engineering.
